Familiar

Random quote of the day:

“Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.”

—G. W. F. Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit (tr. A. V. Miller)

Fuse

Random quote of the day:

“One of the main things I work with personally is saying to myself…: “This is how I am right now. I have a very short fuse and I’m losing it.” Then I ask myself, “Do I want to strengthen this habit so that a year from now my fuse is even shorter?” By sticking with and reinforcing our habit, we could get really professional at making our fuse shorter and shorter. Ten years from now we could have the world’s shortest fuse.”

—Pema Chödrön, The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017
